What are the most stolen vehicles in Salt Lake City?

A recent article in the Deseret News discussed a way to track stolen vehicles with the LoJack system. Many vehicles are stolen and within a short time period are sold to “chop shops” where the parts are removed and resold.
Honda Civics and Accords are still the most often stolen vehicles. They are used for street racing and racers need to replace parts that burned up in an earlier race.
Insurance companies use statistics to set rates. Hondas could cost more to insure (for comprehensive coverage) due to the higher risk of being stolen.
Remember, if you choose to only purchase liability insurance, you will not be able to file a claim if your vehicle is stolen.
Inventory Record for Insurance Claims

Have you ever really thought about replacing everything in your home?
If you suffered a fire, or explosion, chances are you would lose a lot of your “stuff”.
We each own different things, but they have meaning for us and we would want to replace them.
When you file an insurance claim, you will be assigned an insurance adjuster and they will meet with you and ask you for a “list” of what has been damaged, destroyed or lost.
If you have an inventory record of at least your main items, that will be a way to begin the process.
There are different ways to make an inventory record. We have paper booklets that let you write a short description of the item and add serial #’s. We also have digital inventory records that allow you to scan in photo’s, receipts, and other documents that show what you own.
In any case, you want to keep the inventory record stored away from home: in your office, at a relative’s home, etc.
We can help you inventory your personal property or business property.
